The Pity Party

THE PITY PARTY
The husband of a working woman
Oh! Poor man
Coming home to rooms so dusty
Coming home to air so musty
Coming home to sinks so rusty.

The husband of a working woman
Oh! Poor fella
Arriving home to empty pots
Arriving home to unmade cots
Arriving home to loo with dots.

The husband of a working woman
Oh! Poor dude
Wishing he could get very rich
Wishing this home he could ditch
Wishing another’s house he could pitch.
